Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

"Ajiu, as usual, hold him still." She pointed at the little zombie who was still holding up his tomato and chirping, "Thank you, I'm not hungry. You can save it for later."

Only two tomatoes a day, it's hard for it to squeeze one out from between its teeth to give her.

Jingzhi was somewhat moved, but not much.

Because sometimes when she takes a nap, it will stand next to her and drool at her neck, as if her neck is a spicy duck neck.

Lin Jiu paused for several seconds before walking slowly to the altar, picking up a piece of talisman paper and walking over.

The little zombie had very sharp eyesight and knew someone was coming. He backed the car into the garage and parked himself in his love nest - his little coffin. Then he lay down, holding his today's rations in his hands and placing them in front of his stomach, as if he was going to fall asleep peacefully with the two tomatoes.

"You are so self-conscious, unlike someone."

After Lin Jiu used the talisman to immobilize it, he reached in and patted its little head.

Jingzhi muttered in dissatisfaction, "I'm very self-aware in my cultivation. I'll transform when the time comes, without you even urging me."

Lin Jiu's ears moved slightly. Is this the kind of self-awareness he wants?

Well, this was indeed the kind of self-awareness he wanted before, but people change, and Lin Jiu is no exception.

……

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were prying at the door, their heads stacked together, revealing four pairs of eyes looking inside.

"Brother, why don't you say anything?"

"How would I know!"

Lin Jiu was sitting in the main seat in the living room, facing the door, and had already noticed those two bastards.

"Qiu Sheng, why don't you look at the tea?"

"Oh!" he responded, and tapped the head underneath him, "Hey, go!"

Wencai looked up, "Why me again? Master is calling you."

Qiu Sheng stared intently at the three people inside, creating an awkward atmosphere. He patted Wencai's face and said, "Hey, dear, Senior Brother loves you. Just this once. Next time you go to town, Senior Brother will treat you to roast chicken!"

Wencai retracted his head, covered his face and said, "You are as poor as me, how can you afford to buy roast chicken?"

"Are you going or not?" Qiu Sheng raised his fist behind him.

Looking at the fist that was raised to his nose, Wen Cai was furious and slapped it down with his palm. "Go ahead, you always bully me. If Master hadn't been unhappy these past two days, I would have told him a long time ago."

……

His voice gradually faded away, but the sound of conversation began to be heard in the room.

Zhong Yao turned sideways and bowed to Lin Jiuyi, who was sitting in the upper position. "Uncle Jiu, I heard a long time ago that you had returned to the charity cemetery. The clinic has been very busy these past two days, so I just had time to come visit today.

I brewed these two jars of peach blossom wine myself, and brought them over for you to try."

Speaking of wine, his eyes shifted slightly and glanced at Jingzhi who was sitting opposite him. "Last time I saw you drinking in the restaurant, you didn't even eat a few bites of the food. You can't do that this time."

Look at your nose with your quiet eyes, look at your heart with your nose, and nod slightly.

"Thank you for your concern. I understand." His tone was a little polite and distant.

She wanted to smile politely, but she caught a glimpse of Lin Jiu's slightly tense cheeks out of the corner of her eye, and the corners of her mouth straightened instantly.

They've had a hard enough time these days, and we can't make him jealous anymore.

Zhong Yao's eyes dimmed slightly, and he remembered the purpose of his visit today. He cheered up and smiled at her gently, as if casually. He glanced at Lin Jiu, then walked up to Jing Zhi, took out a purse and said:

"You left in a hurry that day, probably because you drank too much. You didn't even realize you paid for the drinks twice. The boss asked me to bring them to you. Here, count them."

Zhong Yao thought that he had legitimate reasons and it was not abrupt.

……

It seems like we're too close.

Jingzhi could even feel the hem of his skirt touching the corner of her skirt.

She quickly took the purse from his hand, then leaned back to avoid him. "No need to count, I trust you."

"knock."

A pipe was placed on the table with a little force, making a slight sound.

She swallowed, "Jiu trusts you, so I trust you too!"

Lin Jiu's fingers gently stroked the metal handle, his expression softened a little, and Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Yao was stunned on the spot.

The room instantly fell into an eerie silence again.

"What's going on?" Wencai muttered, placing the tea on the side table next to Zhongyao's seat. "Don't stand there, please have some tea. This tea was specially bought for my master by Sister Jingzhi. It smells so good!"

"Written talent!"

Lin Jiu raised his voice slightly and called out, "Be out after the tea is served."

Brat, he even knew it was bought specially for him. He usually doesn't want to drink it, but this kid actually dared to take it out for sale.

"Oh?" Zhong Yao picked up the teacup, lifted the lid with his slender fingers to skim off the foam, and smiled at Jingzhi, saying, "Since Miss Jingzhi bought it, I must taste it carefully."

He blew away the hot air and took a sip. His seemingly casual movements were indescribably gentle and elegant, with a unique and unrestrained charm.

Qiu Sheng couldn't help but look at Lin Jiu with a dark face, and then at Zhong Yao.

It's over. Master can't compete with her in age, and now he's almost losing in temperament. Zhongyao's type is exactly the type that little girls like. Will Jingzhi turn against him?!

"It's indeed good." Zhong Yao put down the teacup and looked at Jingzhi who had remained silent. He gritted his teeth and found another topic, "Miss Jingzhi, why did you drink so early that morning?"

"...If you want to drink, just drink it. Why so many whys?" Jingzhi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, as if there was something stuck in her throat and a thorn in her back. She moved her buttocks and wanted to rush out of the door!

However, someone came to visit and brought gifts, but she just left. Isn't that a bit rude?

But Jiu seemed to be getting more and more unhappy, but she didn't do anything out of line?

……

Just then, a gurgling sound was heard.

Jingzhi looked over and saw Zhongyao holding his stomach, looking at her and Lin Jiu with some embarrassment. "Sorry, I didn't expect the charity cemetery to be so far away. It's already noon when we got here."

Lin Jiu: I think you did it on purpose!

Jingzhi turned to look at Lin Jiu with a questioning look, which slightly calmed his irritable mood. "Then stay for dinner before leaving."

Lin Jiu called out to the door, "Qiu Sheng, go cook!"

Jingzhi stood up immediately and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it. I'm free anyway!"

Oh my god, she can’t stay in this room for even a second, she needs to leave quickly!

Before leaving, she also took Qiu Sheng, who had a gossipy look on his face, with her as her helper.

The two men in the living room looked at each other for a while, and the air was filled with smoke.

Lin Jiu's eyes fell on the purse on the table below, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

"Zhong Yao, you came here today just to give me two jars of wine?"

If he wasn't the only son of his old friend, Lin Jiu would have thrown him out along with the wine.

Giving away a purse under the pretext of paying back the money?

Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road!

The gentle smile on Zhong Yao's face gradually faded after Jingzhi left. Facing Lin Jiu's sharp gaze, he spoke directly:

"Uncle Jiu, the first two times we met, I could tell she liked you. That day when she was drinking, she ran away as soon as she saw you... I don't know what happened, but she was obviously hurt by you."

"If you don't like her, I can hire her to work as a clerk in my shop. It's better than staying in the charity cemetery."

Since he had already spoken openly, Lin Jiu directly exposed his thoughts: "You like her."

Oh, being a waiter?

He probably wants her to be the boss lady.

dream!

Since everyone has spoken out, Zhongyao will not make any excuses. The man is not married and the woman is not married, so a real man should be open and honest when pursuing a woman.

He stood up and faced Lin Jiu. "Uncle Jiu, I like her. Although I've only met her twice, her lively and cheerful personality has deeply attracted me. I don't know what you think of her."

Seeing Lin Jiu's face as dark as ink, his heart trembled, but how many heart-beating moments can a person have in his life? He didn't want to regret it.

"If you don't like it, that's great. If you like her too, then we can compete fairly!"

"boom!"

The pipe on Lin Jiu's desk even jumped up because of his slamming of the desk.

Wencai, who was peeking, was so scared that he quickly retracted his head.

How long has it been?

It’s been a while since I saw Master’s face so dark. Are they going to fight?

No! I have to go find Sister Jingzhi right away!

……

At this moment, the atmosphere in the living room was as cold as ice.

Zhong Yao's expression gradually turned stern. "It's no use banging your head on the table. I really like her and I won't let her go."

He has studied abroad and learned medicine. He is more than a generation younger than Uncle Jiu and looks good. He has now taken over his father's business. He believes that if he works hard, Jingzhi will fall in love with him!

Moreover, she seemed to be proficient in medicine. Nowadays, women who were proficient in medicine were very rare. Zhong Yao felt that she was simply his soul mate sent by God.

Then his tone became stronger.

…………

……

Just when the two of them were about to start talking after talking about something, the anxious Jingzhi finally finished his work.

She walked quickly to the door carrying a few bowls of noodles.

"time to eat."

She stretched her head and saw that both of them had their fists clenched tightly.

Well, she should bring it to the pavilion. The table in the pavilion is heavy, and if Jiu wants to overturn the table, she still has time to stop him.

Seeing her leave, Lin Jiu said with a forced smile:

"please."

Go back to where you came from after dinner!

He was merciful not to break his legs for stealing his lover on his territory.

……

The battlefield immediately shifted to the pavilion.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai didn't dare to sit at the table at all. They sat on the threshold of the main hall, holding their bowls and slurping noodles, and regarded the mime of the three people not far away as a side dish.

"Brother, who do you think will win?"

Qiu Sheng tutted his tongue a few times, and while Wencai was engrossed in watching, he secretly took the lean meat from his bowl and ate it in one bite, then said with satisfaction:

"Oh, then it must be (chew chew chew) whoever Jingzhi's heart is with (chew chew chew), whoever will win!"

Wencai's mouth curled up gradually, "Brother, the piece you just ate was picked up by me from the ground."

Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he finally chased after Wencai, who was eating and jogging along, holding the bowl, "Good on you, you actually learned bad habits! Don't run!"

The sounds of their laughter and banter did nothing to alleviate the chill that was spreading in the pavilion.

Jingzhi didn't dare to make any sound while eating noodles, she was almost suffocating.

"Miss Jingzhi, your cooking skills are also very good. Whoever marries you will be very lucky."

The more people fight for it, the more he seems to love it.

Zhong Yao's eyes looked at Jingzhi more and more scorching, as if they were going to burn through her face.

She couldn't help but move towards Lin Jiu, but she didn't know that the bench would tilt up if she sat on one end.

She tilted her body, quickly put down the bowl, and held Lin Jiu's arm.

"Hey, sorry, let me wipe it off for you."

Jingzhi grabbed the rag on the table and wiped the noodle soup that had spilled in front of him.

Lin Jiu reached out and patted her hand gently, then said softly with a scolding tone:

"Be careful, you're always so frizzy. Did you get burned?"

Jingzhi stuck out her tongue and said, "It's okay, eat quickly. Why are you eating so slowly today? Is what I cooked not to your liking?"

Lin Jiu glanced at Zhong Yao, whose face gradually darkened, and then smiled at Jing Zhi, "No, I'll eat it right away."

Zhong Yao inexplicably felt that the situation was not good. Why did they look so... like an old married couple?

Didn’t they have a quarrel like before?

At this moment, Lin Jiu looked at the noodles in the bowl and suddenly an idea came to him.

The tip of his chopsticks gently picked up the noodles.

Sure enough, there was always a sunny-side-up egg at the bottom of his bowl.

He glanced at Zhongyao's almost finished bowl.

Oh, he didn’t.

So, he slowly picked up the egg and took a bite. After chewing and swallowing it, he said to Jingzhi:

"Don't add just the egg for me in the future. Qiu Sheng and Wen will be unhappy."

Zhong Yao's face instantly darkened to the bottom.

His chopsticks scraped the remaining noodles, and the tips of the chopsticks touched the glaze at the bottom of the bowl, making a slight squeaking sound.

There is no egg in his bowl.

So, is she respecting the old man, or is she still in love with him?

Jingzhi heard the sound of him scratching the bottom of the bowl. She felt a little awkward, so she gently patted Lin Jiu's arm and whispered, "Don't be like this, it's so embarrassing."

Lin Jiu put down his chopsticks and held her hand that was on his arm, narrowing his eyes and engaging in a silent contest with Zhong Yao.

In the end, Zhong Yao was defeated.

"It's getting late. Thank you for your face. I should go now."

"it is good."

"Won't you see me off?" He asked expectantly.

Jingzhi was busy clearing the dishes. She turned around and said innocently, "What?"

She called out to the two men who were fighting, "Qiu Sheng! Send Mr. Zhongyao off."

Zhong Yao's straight spine bent slightly. He pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a wry smile, "No need."

However, it is not that easy to pursue a girl. If he fails to win her heart, it must be because he is not swinging the hoe hard enough!

She can cook for him today, and in the future, he will definitely have his own "egg"!

Then, Zhong Yao straightened his back again, like an upright bamboo, and gave Lin Jiu a polite smile:

"Uncle Jiu, next time I'm treating you, you...you all have to come along!"

Without waiting for Lin Jiu's response, he gave Jingzhi a smile as warm as the morning light, lifted his skirt, and walked out of the yard quickly.

Lin Jiu: "Does he have a nice smile?"

Jingzhi: "No one smiles as beautifully as you do!"

Lin Jiu paused, "So, you saw it?"

Jingzhi: "He sits opposite me..."

Lin Jiu snorted coldly and stuffed the egg that belonged to him into his mouth.

"Don't be angry." She scooped another egg from the bottom of his bowl and put it on the noodles. "I made two for you today, and he didn't have any."

Lin Jiu looked at the beautifully shaped egg in front of him and suddenly chuckled softly. Then he raised his head, looked directly into Jingzhi's eyes, and said the request that he had always found difficult to express and rarely said:

"Can I kiss you?"

Jingzhi was a little confused, "But you are eating."

"Do you agree to this?"

"Um... finish eating first."

"it is good."

……

After dinner, Lin Jiu looked at the kitten sitting on the couch in the study, acting as a sculpture, and was speechless.

He walked over quickly and stood in front of her.

"You promised me."

He had already finished eating and rinsed his mouth, and she transformed just by sitting here in the daytime?

Maomao Youyou raised her head, her cat eyes wide open, and tilted her head, "I told you to finish eating first, but I didn't agree."

Lin Jiu was angry, but he couldn't do anything about her.

He had the courage to turn her from a human into a cat, but he didn't have the courage to turn her from a cat into a human.

Because the moment she turned into a human, she must have been naked.

He froze in place for a moment, grinding his teeth in anger.

Jing scratched his ears with his claws and moved his whole body backwards. He seemed to be in some danger now, so it was better to stay away from him.

After she moved a few times, she was picked up by Lin Jiu, who pressed his hand hard against her mouth.

It kept struggling, its two furry hind paws scratching the air, "Flattened, flattened, you kissed my face flat, let me go!"

The nail still didn't pop out, for fear of accidentally hurting him.

Lin Jiu pinched her soft plum blossom flesh cushion, and his heart softened. He lowered his head and whispered:

"Change back and I'll get you some clothes."

"No!" His eyes now seemed to be able to swallow her in one gulp. If she changed back, there would definitely be something sweet to eat, but her self-control was almost exhausted. When the kiss reached a deep point, she was not sure if she could control herself.

So for the sake of his cultivation, she had better endure it.

At this moment, Jingzhi never expected that the old-fashioned Lin Jiu would actually use this trick!

……
